Saturday, March 29th - 9:00am - 3:30pm

COST: $50 per person

Join us for 2 days of powerful teaching, worship, and prayer. This event is designed especially for trauma survivors and those who care about them. We will talk about the healing process from a few different perspectives with a special emphasis on those dealing with dissociation. There will be prayer teams available throughout the conference for those attending in-person who may feel overwhelmed or triggered, or for those who want to receive something from the Lord. In addition, you will have an opportunity to meet counselors who specialize in trauma and dissociation which may be able to assist you in the future.

Coffee and bottled water will be available throughout the event. We will also be providing dinner on Friday evening and lunch on Saturday. (Feel free to bring your own snacks and food if you have specific dietary restrictions. Our host team will be happy to store it in the refrigerator for you if needed.) We want you to be able to attend in comfort and feel able to receive whatever the Lord may have for you.

Join us as we come before our Heavenly Father to learn, grow, and heal!

1:30 DOORS OPEN

2:00 Melissa Finger – Living A Life of Growth and Healing - Grace, self-acceptance, and a mindset of growth and healing are necessary components for all walks of life. We all experience challenges throughout life. Having a healthy mindset based on biblical principles can be the difference between barely surviving and living an abundant life regardless of our circumstances.

3:00 Break

3:30 Marcus Warner – Understanding the Wounded Heart Part I - It's impossible to live in this fallen world and not have your heart wounded. And if we are living with unhealed wounds then our maturity is stunted, our relationships suffer, and we are not able to fully live from the heart Jesus gave us. However, God is the One who 'heals the brokenhearted' and brings restoration to our lives. In these sessions, Dr. Marcus Warner will introduce a simple model for understanding the wounded heart and offer practical, transferable tools for experiencing God's healing and transformation.

8:30 DOORS OPEN

9:00 Marcus Warner – Understanding the Wounded Heart Part II (see description above)

10:30 Break

11:00 Mary Anne Quinn – Safe Refuge - When storms threaten, we seek refuge. As children, if we lack safe people and places to protect us, we create our own places to hide, sometimes so deep within ourselves that we lose our connection with the person God created us to be. Mary Anne Quinn, of Creatively Attached Ministry, shares Scriptures and stories with good news: Jesus invites us to find in him a refuge where we can be both safe and our true selves. Even when being ourselves is what we are most afraid of.

12:00 Lunch

1:00 Breakouts (you will have a chance to choose these when you arrive on Friday)

Wyatt Bury, LPC – Healing and Forgiveness - This breakout session will explore forgiveness and what it

has to do with the healing journey. We will begin by clarifying what forgiveness is, and is not, identifying a biblical definition of forgiveness and contrasting that with common misconceptions. We will identify how healing facilitates healing from past hurts from a psychological and a Christian perspective, and lay out some specific steps to take to move toward forgiveness, especially when it seems impossible.

Sherrie Pucket, LPC – Healing Through Intimacy With God - In this workshop you will discover how

understanding God's character and His love rewires your brain, bringing clarity and hope in areas of your

life where you have felt stuck. You will also find that your true identity is directly tied to the character of

our loving God. This workshop gives a roadmap that leads to freedom from cognitive distortions and

feelings of worthlessness. Discover how God created your brain to heal and your heart and soul to find

identity, freedom and purpose in His boundless love.

Mary Anne Quinn - Group Immanuel Prayer Session - Immanuel is a one-on-one prayer method

which allows you to connect with God. This will be a time to practice Immanuel Prayer in a group session.

2:00 Break and prayer

2:30 Melissa Finger – Deep Roots, Big God - We are designed to have deep roots. These roots not only grow throughout our lifetime, but they grow through our families and our communities. God designed these roots to bring us strength throughout our life. Unfortunately, pain and trauma can often use this same root system to keep us connected to unhealthy thoughts, patterns, and behaviors. This final session will help you identity some of the healthy roots that grow deep in your heart, as well as some of the unhealthy roots that each of us have. Healing our heart at the deepest root is part of God's plan for each one of us!

3:15 Prayer

3:30 Wrap up, next steps, and closing
